The next iteration of the old SC4D Prop + Texture Catalog is currently underway.

This time it's HTML based to allow for dynamic filtering so creators can quickly and more easily find exactly the kind of prop(s) desired. Currently the first level of filters are in progress, with much more granular filtering planned.

Follow the thread SimCity 4 Prop and Texture Catalogue for the most up to date details.

A bit off-topic, but worth a mention......

The FIRST and BEST, Commander James Bond, Agent 007.

Sir Sean Connery died in his sleep this morning at his villa in the Bahamas, he was age 90.

His first Bond Film set fire to my young imagination and I read ALL the Ian Fleming novels on summer vacation that year.

In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder, and bloodshed.  But they produced Michael Angelo, Leonardo Da Vinci, and The Renaissance.

In Switzerland, they had brotherly love and five hundred years of peace.  And what did that produce?

@The British Sausage: What's the building with the chariot on the roof?

That is Mattb325's diagonal courthouse. A very useful diagonal building to have!

Wow! RIP to a film giant.

Aside from James Bond he was also awesome in Indiana Jones The Last Crusade, Hunt for Red October and of course The Untouchables.

Yo, guys --

@juguesal has asked me for a link to download the old MAXIS EDITOR.

Unofrtunately, I do not have the link (I keep three back-ups in external HD's).

COULD ANYONE PROVIDE A DOWNLOAD LINK  ???

Just use his "blue tag" to notify him that it is available. 

THANX MUCH -- !!

What car do you want to see in the game? I accept any request.

a classic VW Split Screen Camper and variations of it (ice cream van, ambulance etc) :) 

Would be awesome!

It can't be done! Not with a standard topographical map image. I downloaded this image, as an example-

Project3.jpg.77fc8bb9ad317b19d786f724fee96313.jpg

and tried to even out all the tones to equalize the image and raise the terrain to rid it of water-

Project3.png.471b336bb7a090ccdec856f3eb555742.png

Unfortunately, the very thing that fools the eye into thinking you're seeing a 3d image, is the thing that destroys the image in SC4Mapper- the shadows. SC4M adds it's own shadows, on top of the image, which ultimately gives you a region that looks like boiling oatmeal, no matter how many times you hit the equalizer button. I tried isolating the shadows and lightening them, but you can never really get them all. The only real way to get the crater effect is by flat layering like this-

Project5.png.7751644094d190d8cbf689e1b3ebd983.png

Only 700 more craters to go, if you catch my drift. The only easy way to replicate a pock-marked surface like the moon is in Terraformer. That's the way I did mine-

Mmm, something tells me that's a 3D model from @Barroco Hispano, as opposed to a static image he's trying to use as the basis for a map. Presumably he can use the 3D model to generate an SC4M compatible map?


🚜 Get well soon, Cori! 🚜

@BartonThinks You are correct, it is a 3d model generated by a height map. *:thumb:

@SIM-ple Jack To be honest I have no idea how sc4 terraformer works. This is what the heightmap looks like (I converted it from an .exr file (256MB) to .png (3.89MB) so a lot of detail is lost.
